Hi Verve fans! We're bringing back our monthly inspiration challenge and would love for you to play along! On the 10th of each month we'll bring you a little challenge and share our takes on it with a fun inspirational blog hop. After that, we'd love for you to try your hand at the challenge and link up on the linky widget below.

This month is sponsored by the color GREEN. Anything green does the trick. If you want a little more inspiration, this drippy green, weathered gate with a coffee cup on it sure looks inviting, don't you think? Here's a closer look.

Verve Stamps are not required, but we do love to see 'em. And if you don't have any, you can save a little green during our March sale, with everything in the shop, including our new digis, 30% off!

Hi Verve friends! Our March digital release went live in the shop this morning. I've had a lot of requests to bring back the Lucky Day digi that was available for a limited time last year, so if you're one of the ones waiting for it, today is your lucky day! Plus, there's a brand new digi in town... the Irish Coffee DIGITAL Set. And everything's on sale. Happy March!

Our newest addition to our digital line-up is the Irish Coffee DIGITAL Set. Whether or not you're Irish, there's definitely some charm to this coffee themed, St. Patrick's Day inspired set. I'm not Irish, but I do love an Irish mocha this time of year (oh, who am I kidding.... ANY time of year!). And maybe since March is when the twins were born, I love this holiday just a teensy bit more. If they hadn't come a bit early, they just might have been born on St. Patrick's Day. I still remember the sweet little shamrocks decorating their name tags and their NICU room.

Anyhow, back to the set. It's got all things magically delicious... coffee, coffee, coffee, clover, and even a pot of gold! For die cutting fun, the shamrock cups coordinate with the Happiness in a Cup Die Set and the pot coordinates with the Kettle Time Die Set.

All of our digital sets come as a compressed zip file you can download, extract and then manipulate and print in a word processing or photo editing software. We also include a printable PDF with the images and sentiments sized for cardmaking and laid out and ready to print on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper. Above is a photo of the printed pdf. I print on a laser printer on smooth white cardstock so I can use a variety of coloring mediums without ink bleeding.

We've also brought back the Lucky Day DIGITAL Set. I'll confess, I really hoped and planned for this set to be a real life physical stamp set this year, but things (I'll call them Thing 1, Thing 2, and LIFE) kept me distracted long enough to miss my production deadlines yet again. There are some other new stamp designs on the horizon, though. So the wait for new physical stamps is almost over!

The Lucky Day DIGITAL Set is sure to bring you delight as you craft your coffee, blessing and St. Patrick's Day projects. Shamrocks and four leaf clovers set the stage for some fabulous blessing sentiments that are sure to bring a smile. This digi was available for a limited time last year, but is now joining our digital line-up in the shop. Below is a photo of the printable PDF.

Hi Verve friends! Our January digital release went live in the shop this morning. I've had so many requests to bring back the Love From Me digi that was available for a limited time last year, so if you're one of the ones waiting for it, today is your lucky day!

To round out the set, I updated it with the addition of a new mug that coordinates with the Happiness in a Cup Die Set and the sending you a latte love sentiment.

I print on a laser printer on smooth white cardstock so I can use a variety of coloring mediums without ink bleeding.

This whimsical valentine set is filled with hope and love and would make the perfect little pick me up notes for your coffee loving friends and loved ones! Here's a photo of the printable pdf.

While I don't have a sample card for this digi yet (GATE testing and 1st grade enrollment/charter school lottery applications have taken over our lives this week), I'm sure to have a bunch for you in the coming weeks! If you've placed an order over the past several months you may have received a printed hope this lifts your spirits sentiment tucked in with your order. I've had lots of requests for this one to be made available and thought it fit perfectly with the uplifting theme I was going for.

All of our new digis as well as a lovely collection of love and kindness products are on sale 30% off through January 31.
